 Production deployment guide for Routstr Provider nodes.
 
+## All-in-One Docker Image (Preferred)
+
+The easiest way to deploy Routstr is using the all-in-one Docker image from Docker Hub, which includes both the FastAPI backend and the Next.js admin dashboard in a single container.
+
+### Quick Start
+
+```bash
+docker run -d \
+  --name routstr \
+  -p 8000:8000 \
+  -v routstr-data:/app/data \
+  -e DATABASE_URL="sqlite:////app/data/routstr.db" \
+  9qeklajc/routstr:latest
+```
+
+Access your node:
+- **API & Admin Dashboard**: http://localhost:8000
+
+### Docker Compose Setup
+
+Create `docker-compose.yml`:
+
+```yaml
+version: '3.8'
+
+services:
+  routstr:
+    image: 9qeklajc/routstr:latest
+    container_name: routstr
+    restart: unless-stopped
+    ports:
+      - "8000:8000"
+    volumes:
+      - routstr-data:/app/data
+    environment:
+      DATABASE_URL: "sqlite:////app/data/routstr.db"
+      ADMIN_KEY: "your-secure-admin-key"
+      LOG_LEVEL: "info"
+
+volumes:
+  routstr-data:
+```
+
+Start it:
+
+```bash
+docker compose up -d
+```
+
+---
+
 ## Docker Compose (Recommended)
 
 For production, use Docker Compose with persistent storage and optional Tor support.
 
-### Unified Setup (All-in-one)
-To build and run the node with the UI integrated in a single container using the multi-stage build:
-
-```bash
-docker build -f Dockerfile.full -t routstr-full .
-docker run -d -p 8000:8000 --env-file .env routstr-full
-```
-
-### Advanced Setup (Separated UI & Node)
-Use the included `compose.yml` for a more flexible setup that separates the UI build process from the node execution. This is useful for development or when you want to manage Tor as a separate service.

+# Plan: Track unsupported incoming mints in `other_mints` and include them in balances
+
+## Goal
+
+When a Cashu token arrives from a mint that is **not** in `settings.cashu_mints`, we currently create/use a wallet for that mint and swap value into the primary mint. Any change/surplus left behind after `melt()` remains in the foreign `token_wallet`, but that balance is not surfaced by `fetch_all_balances()` because it only iterates over configured mints.
+
+This plan adds persistent tracking for those foreign mints in a new database table called `other_mints`, and updates balance reporting to include them.
+
+---
+
+## Current behavior
+
+### Incoming unsupported mint flow
+
+In `routstr/wallet.py`:
+
+- `recieve_token()` deserializes the token
+- if `token_obj.mint not in settings.cashu_mints`, it calls `swap_to_primary_mint(token_obj, wallet)`
+- `swap_to_primary_mint()` calls `token_wallet.melt(...)` to pay the primary mint invoice
+
+### Important detail: change is retained, not discarded
+
+The underlying Cashu wallet library keeps any melt change:
+
+- `Wallet.melt()` constructs blank outputs for change
+- when the melt succeeds, returned change is reconstructed into proofs
+- those proofs are appended to `self.proofs` and stored in the wallet DB
+
+So surplus from unsupported mints is **not discarded**, but it may become invisible operationally.
+
+### Visibility problem
+
+`fetch_all_balances()` currently only loops over:
+
+- `settings.cashu_mints`
+- units `sat` and `msat`
+
+This means balances left on unsupported mints are not shown in admin balance reporting.
+
+---
+
+## Proposed design
+
+## 1. Add a new DB table: `other_mints`
+
+Add a small table in `routstr/core/db.py` to persist unsupported mints we have seen in incoming tokens.
+
+Suggested schema:
+
+- `mint_url: str` primary key
+- `created_at: int`
+- `last_seen_at: int`
+
+Minimal model:
+
+```python
+class OtherMint(SQLModel, table=True):
+    __tablename__ = "other_mints"
+
+    mint_url: str = Field(primary_key=True)
+    created_at: int = Field(default_factory=lambda: int(time.time()))
+    last_seen_at: int = Field(default_factory=lambda: int(time.time()))
+```
+
+Why minimal:
+
+- the only required function is mint discovery/tracking
+- unit handling can remain dynamic via existing balance queries over `sat` and `msat`
+
+---
+
+## 2. Add DB helpers for `other_mints`
+
+In `routstr/core/db.py`, add helper functions:
+
+### `register_other_mint(mint_url: str) -> None`
+
+Behavior:
+
+- if the mint is not present, insert it
+- if it already exists, update `last_seen_at`
+
+### `list_other_mints(session) -> list[str]`
+
+Behavior:
+
+- return all tracked unsupported mint URLs
+
+Optional later:
+
+- `delete_other_mint(...)`
+- admin cleanup helpers
+
+---
+
+## 3. Register unsupported mints during token receipt
+
+Update `recieve_token()` in `routstr/wallet.py`.
+
+Current logic:
+
+```python
+if token_obj.mint not in settings.cashu_mints:
+    return await swap_to_primary_mint(token_obj, wallet)
+```
+
+Planned logic:
+
+```python
+if token_obj.mint not in settings.cashu_mints:
+    await db.register_other_mint(token_obj.mint)
+    return await swap_to_primary_mint(token_obj, wallet)
+```
+
+Why here:
+
+- this is the earliest reliable point where we know the mint came in via an actual token
+- this is exactly the path that can leave foreign-mint change behind
+- it avoids needing to infer unsupported mints later from wallet internals
+
+---
+
+## 4. Update `fetch_all_balances()` to include `other_mints`
+
+Current behavior only includes configured mints.
+
+Planned behavior:
+
+- load tracked unsupported mints from DB
+- combine them with `settings.cashu_mints`
+- dedupe while preserving order
+- fetch balances for all tracked mints across requested units
+
+Conceptual flow:
+
+```python
+tracked_mints = dedupe(settings.cashu_mints + other_mints_from_db)
+```
+
+Then existing per-mint/per-unit balance logic can remain mostly unchanged.
+
+This ensures that retained change on unsupported mints becomes visible in admin balance reporting.
+
+---
+
+## 5. Add a balance source marker
+
+Extend `BalanceDetail` in `routstr/wallet.py` to identify whether a balance row comes from a configured mint or an `other_mints` entry.
+
+Suggested field:
+
+- `source: str` with values:
+  - `"configured"`
+  - `"other"`
+
+Updated shape:
+
+```python
+class BalanceDetail(TypedDict, total=False):
+    mint_url: str
+    unit: str
+    source: str
+    wallet_balance: int
+    user_balance: int
+    owner_balance: int
+    error: str
+```
+
+Why this helps:
+
+- admin can distinguish normal configured wallet balances from foreign/unsupported balances
+- avoids confusion if unexpected mint URLs show up in the balances API/UI
+
+---
+
+## 6. Admin/API impact
+
+Backend impact is minimal because `/admin/api/balances` already returns `fetch_all_balances()` output.
+
+Effects:
+
+- supported mints continue to show as before
+- tracked unsupported mints will also appear
+- UI can optionally display the new `source` field
+
+No API contract break is expected if the frontend ignores unknown fields.
+
+---
+
+## 7. Payout behavior: do not change in phase 1
+
+`periodic_payout()` currently only iterates over `settings.cashu_mints`.
+
+Recommendation for this change:
+
+- **do not** expand `periodic_payout()` to include `other_mints` yet
+- only improve visibility through balance reporting
+
+Reason:
+
+- automatic payout from unsupported/foreign mints may be operationally undesirable
+- visibility should come first, automation second
+
+Possible future phase:
+
+- add optional sweeping/payout support for `other_mints`
+- or provide an admin-triggered withdrawal/sweep flow
+
+---
+
+## 8. Logging improvements (optional)
+
+Optional follow-up improvement in `swap_to_primary_mint()`:
+
+- capture the return value from `token_wallet.melt(...)`
+- if feasible, log any reported change amount
+- otherwise, rely on wallet balance reporting to surface residual amounts
+
+This is useful but not required for the first implementation.
+
+---
+
+## Files to change
+
+### `routstr/core/db.py`
+
+Add:
+
+- `OtherMint` SQLModel
+- `register_other_mint()`
+- `list_other_mints()`
+
+### `migrations/versions/<new_revision>_add_other_mints_table.py`
+
+Create migration to add the `other_mints` table.
+
+### `routstr/wallet.py`
+
+Update:
+
+- `recieve_token()` to register unsupported mints
+- `BalanceDetail` to include `source`
+- `fetch_all_balances()` to include both configured and tracked unsupported mints
+
+### `routstr/core/admin.py`
+
+Likely no backend changes required unless a dedicated `other_mints` API is desired.
+
+---
+
+## Behavior rules
+
+### Register a mint when
+
+- an incoming token is processed
+- the token mint is not in `settings.cashu_mints`
+
+### Do not remove automatically when
+
+- balance reaches zero
+
+Reason:
+
+- historical visibility is useful
+- avoids flapping entries in the admin balance list
+- mint may receive additional unsupported tokens later
+
+Potential future enhancement:
+
+- admin endpoint to prune zero-balance `other_mints`
+
+---
+
+## Edge cases
+
+### A mint later becomes configured
+
+If a mint in `other_mints` is later added to `settings.cashu_mints`:
+
+- deduplication prevents duplicate balance rows
+- `source` should resolve to `configured`
+
+### Unsupported mint with zero balance
+
+A tracked unsupported mint may show zero balances.
+
+Initial recommendation:
+
+- allow it to appear
+- consider later filtering zero-balance `other` rows if the UI becomes noisy
+
+### Units
+
+Balance fetching can continue to query both `sat` and `msat` for each tracked mint.
+
+If a mint has no proofs in one unit, current error/zero handling can continue to apply.
+
+---
+
+## Test plan
+
+### DB tests
+
+- registering a new unsupported mint inserts a row
+- registering the same mint again updates `last_seen_at` without duplication
+- listing other mints returns expected mint URLs
+
+### Wallet tests
+
+#### `recieve_token()`
+
+- when mint is unsupported, `db.register_other_mint()` is called before swap
+- when mint is configured, `db.register_other_mint()` is not called
+
+#### `fetch_all_balances()`
+
+- includes configured mints
+- includes `other_mints` from DB
+- dedupes if a mint exists in both configured and other lists
+- sets `source` correctly
+
+### Regression tests
+
+- existing trusted mint balance reporting remains unchanged
+- `/admin/api/balances` continues to work
+
+---
+
+## Recommended implementation order
+
+1. Add `OtherMint` model to `routstr/core/db.py`
+2. Add Alembic migration for `other_mints`
+3. Add `register_other_mint()` and `list_other_mints()` helpers
+4. Update `recieve_token()` to register unsupported mints
+5. Update `fetch_all_balances()` to union configured + tracked other mints
+6. Add `source` to `BalanceDetail`
+7. Add/adjust tests
+
+---
+
+## Summary
+
+This change solves an operational visibility problem:
+
+- unsupported incoming mints can leave retained change in foreign wallets
+- those funds are currently preserved but not surfaced in balance reporting
+- introducing `other_mints` makes those mints discoverable and auditable
+- expanding `fetch_all_balances()` ensures their balances are visible in admin tooling
+
+Recommended scope for the first pass:
+
+- track unsupported mints in DB
+- include them in balance reporting
+- mark them as `source="other"`
+- do not yet change payout/sweeping behavior

    - Used to track successful completions and revenue
-   - The 'cost_data.total_msats' field is extracted for revenue calculation

+* OpenRouter: same as OpenAI plus cache *writes* in
+  ``prompt_tokens_details.cache_write_tokens``, also included in
+  ``prompt_tokens``.
+* litellm-normalized: same nesting, but names the write field
+  ``prompt_tokens_details.cache_creation_tokens`` (and additionally mirrors the
+  Anthropic top-level fields), with ``prompt_tokens`` as the grand total.
+* Anthropic native: ``cache_read_input_tokens`` / ``cache_creation_input_tokens``
+  top-level, additive to (not included in) ``input_tokens``.
+* DeepSeek: ``prompt_cache_hit_tokens`` / ``prompt_cache_miss_tokens``, with
+  ``prompt_tokens = hit + miss``.
+
+What decides whether cached tokens must be subtracted out of the input count is
+**which prompt field the vendor uses**, not which cache field appears:
+
+* ``prompt_tokens`` present -> cached + cache-write tokens are *included* in it
+  (OpenAI family, DeepSeek, OpenRouter, litellm); subtract both so
+  ``input_tokens`` holds only the regular-rate portion.
+* only ``input_tokens`` (Anthropic native) -> cached tokens are *additive*;
+  leave ``input_tokens`` untouched.
+
+``normalize_usage`` maps all of them onto one canonical ``NormalizedUsage``
+shape so billing code needs no vendor knowledge. The known dialects' field
+names do not collide, so a single union parser is safe; a vendor whose fields
+would genuinely conflict needs a dedicated branch here.

+"""Inject explicit prompt-cache breakpoints into OpenAI-shaped requests.
+
+Some upstreams cache *explicitly*: the request must carry
+``cache_control: {"type": "ephemeral"}`` markers on the content blocks that
+should be cached. Two model families use this identical wire format:
+
+* **Anthropic Claude** — direct or via OpenRouter's ``anthropic/*`` models.
+* **Alibaba's explicit-cache models on OpenRouter** — ``qwen/qwen3-max``,
+  ``qwen/qwen-plus``, ``qwen/qwen3.6-plus``, ``qwen/qwen3-coder-plus``,
+  ``qwen/qwen3-coder-flash`` and ``deepseek/deepseek-v3.2`` — which OpenRouter
+  documents as using "the same syntax as Anthropic explicit caching".
+
+Every other provider routstr proxies (OpenAI, Azure, xAI/Grok, Groq, Moonshot,
+default DeepSeek, Gemini implicit, Fireworks) caches *automatically* and needs
+no markers — they are left untouched.
+
+A client that doesn't know it is talking to one of these models *through*
+routstr (e.g. an OpenAI-compatible coding agent pointed at a routstr URL) never
+emits the markers — it only adds them when it recognises the provider as
+OpenRouter. So caching silently never engages over routstr even though the same
+client caches fine talking to OpenRouter directly.
+
+This module restores caching by stamping the standard breakpoints onto the
+forwarded body — the system prompt, the last tool, and the last conversation
+message (the format allows up to four; we use three, matching the common
+agent convention) — but only when the client supplied none of its own, so
+explicit client control always wins. The caller is responsible for only
+applying this toward an upstream that accepts the markers (OpenRouter /
+Anthropic), so they never leak to a provider that would reject them.

+"""Local handling of Anthropic ``/v1/messages/count_tokens`` for upstreams

+
+Most non-Anthropic upstreams (OpenAI-compat, Gemini OpenAI-compat,
+OpenRouter chat-completions, generic providers) return 400/404 when asked
+to ``POST /messages/count_tokens``. Claude Code and other Anthropic SDK
+clients call this endpoint before each turn to size context windows and
+trigger compaction, so a failure breaks the whole chat.
+
+We answer locally. ``litellm.token_counter`` understands the Anthropic
+message shape and the per-model tokenizers, so we prefer it. If it raises
+(unknown model, encoding lookup failure, ...), we fall back to the
+project's own ``estimate_tokens`` heuristic, which is always defined and

+"""Custom /v1/messages dispatcher for Gemini's OpenAI-compat endpoint.
+
+Why this exists
+---------------
+
+Gemini 2.5 / 3 thinking models reject inbound ``functionCall`` parts that
+lack a ``thought_signature`` field once any prior turn in the conversation
+contains a function call. Anthropic-Messages clients (Claude Code etc.)
+have no concept of thought signatures, so multi-turn tool conversations
+fail with::
+
+    Function call is missing a thought_signature in functionCall parts.
+
+Google's published escape hatch (https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/
+thought-signatures, FAQ #1) is the dummy signature
+``"skip_thought_signature_validator"`` placed at
+``tool_calls[i].extra_content.google.thought_signature`` for every tool
+call in the request. The hatch is documented specifically for
+"transferring a trace from a different model that does not include thought
+signatures" — exactly our case.
+
+Why we can't reach the wire via litellm
+---------------------------------------
+
+``litellm.anthropic.messages.acreate`` flows through the openai SDK, whose
+pydantic ``ChatCompletionMessageToolCall`` model silently drops unknown
+fields like ``extra_content``. Litellm has no openai-compat translator
+that emits ``extra_content.google.thought_signature``. So we bypass both
+litellm and the openai SDK at the transport layer.
+
+Pipeline
+--------
+
+1. Translate Anthropic body → OpenAI body via litellm's
+   ``AnthropicAdapter`` (the same translator
+   ``litellm.anthropic.messages.acreate`` uses internally).
+2. Inject ``extra_content.google.thought_signature`` on every
+   ``tool_calls[]`` entry.
+3. Set ``reasoning_effort="none"`` to disable Gemini's thinking pass.
+4. POST directly to ``{base_url}/chat/completions`` with ``stream=true``
+   via ``httpx`` (preserves arbitrary fields verbatim).
+5. Translate OpenAI streaming chunks → Anthropic SSE events.

+"""Reactive request-correction layer.

+When an upstream rejects a request with a recoverable 4xx error, this layer
+tries to *fix* the request body and let the caller retry the same upstream
+instead of failing outright. It is provider-agnostic: correctors key off the
+upstream's own error wording, so the same recovery works across every provider.
+
+The layer is a small pipeline of :data:`Corrector` callables. Each corrector
+inspects the parsed request body and the upstream error message and either
+returns a corrected body (plus a short label identifying the fix) or declines
+by returning ``None``. Adding a new reactive fix means writing one corrector
+and adding it to :data:`DEFAULT_CORRECTORS` — no changes to the proxy loop.
+
+All corrections are immutable: a corrector never mutates the body it is given,
+it returns a new ``dict``. The proxy threads an ``applied`` set of fix labels
+through retries so each distinct fix is applied at most once, guaranteeing the
+retry loop always terminates.

+Integration tests for the balance-goes-negative bug in adjust_payment_for_tokens.
+
+Root cause: when actual token cost exceeds the discounted reservation
+(cost_difference > 0, caused by tolerance_percentage discounting the reservation),
+the finalization UPDATE had no WHERE guard on balance, allowing balance to go negative.
+
+Fix: added `.where(col(ApiKey.balance) >= total_cost_msats)` so the UPDATE is a no-op
+when balance is insufficient, then falls back to charging only deducted_max_cost.
